Hungering for God
Whether people have enough food or not, they are always hungry for something. This world is a world of appetites, and human beings are always searching for some kind of satiation. People are constantly looking to fulfill some desire or another. What sin has done to us as a people is this; it has distorted our appetites. It has made the satisfaction of our physical desires to be our primary concern, while minimizing, disguising or even completely obscuring our spiritual needs. What the body wants has become first in our priorities, rather than what the soul needs.
One of the great lessons which the Lord taught when he was on the earth was that mankind needs to be hungry for the main thing, and not just the other things. Jesus Christ, himself, is presented as the main thing which we ought to hunger after. Of course, hungering for food, shelter, safety, and desiring to make families, are all significant, necessary, and important. But these other appetites must never over-shadow and obscure the greatest of all needs, to be filled up with and to be satisfied with God himself.
Eight sermons to help redirect our distorted appetites. Eight sermons to stir up our hunger for God.

Wonderful Spiritual Growth book
I enjoyed reading this Bible devotional. I learned a lot about keeping God and Jesus Christ my savior my main focus. Now to apply letting go of those things that are not eternal.... I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

What a blessing this book is, especially during a time that I’ve been going through a dry season. As another reviewer said, this book is thought-provoking and edifying. This book helped me take inventory of my own life on whether I am truly desiring and seeking the Lord. I have a long way to go but this book helped provide some guidance and encouragement in my walk with Christ. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to seek the Lord in a more intimate way.

I had not heard of Andy Ripley till I saw this book. I picked up the book just because the title sounded interesting. After reading It I will now look into reading more of his books. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this book. Thank you Andy for a well written and thought providing book.

A powerful and thought provoking book
T his book is one of the best books I have ever read other than the Bible that
Takes the scripture and applies it to everyday life in such a way that makes you really consider your true relationship with Jesus. Seeing the pathway to a deeper relationship with Jesus has a price and this book makes it clear. Well worth reading.

Food for a Christ-Centered Life
Andy Ripley’s love for the Lord shines through. Our hungering for God should be stronger than our desire for food and the things the world holds as valuable. Great book well worth the read.

A bit repetitive, but probably necessary to " get the message through". If you want to know how to truly know God and live as He intended, then this book is for you. It is clear and does not sugar-coat the truth and the requirements. A Valuable read.

GOOD BIBLE STUDY
This book would be very helpful for new converts. Our deeper hunger for God is created by the Holy Spirit who opens the door with the Word.
